Eric Sommer, Pop American Artist and guitar player extraordinaire, is coming East.

And that's good news for Eric Sommer fans along the eastern seaboard and acoustic guitar aficionados, in particular. Mr. Sommer is known for playing small capacity rooms, generally 75 - 150 seats, and a small environment seems to amplify his explosive guitar style significantly. Almost all the rooms on this tour are small capacity rooms.

Mr. Sommer will be starting his eastern swing when he leaves Norman Oklahoma on May 3rd after a performance at The Blue Bonnet. May 1st finds Eric Sommer in Memphis at Kudzu's and May 2nd in Little Rock at the venerable Midtown Billiards. Additional stops after that include:

These type of schedules are nothing new for Mr. Sommer; they are the norm, rather than the exception. A consumate professional, Eric Sommer has earned the respect and admiration of a generation of young players and song-writers; 2014 could very well be the year Mr. Sommer receives the recognition he deserves.

More writings are also in the works - short stories, a reading tour and more of the single page compositions so popular in Red Chairs, Black Pancake and Blue Turtles, the newest collect coming this Fall as well.

With open tunings, slide guitar, lap-slap tone guitar and a remarkably aggressive fingering style approach, watching Eric Sommer will make you jump out of your seat and holler for joy! There are very few players who have maintained this authentic American style of guitar, and Eric Sommer is one of the very best.
